Morgan Freeman said this about his voice
Morgan Freeman recently shared his candid thoughts on his legendary voice during his recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on February 26, 2026.
During his conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Freeman took a moment to demystify the magic behind his signature voice, saying “No” when the celebrity host asked if he thinks it’s amazing. He opened up about believing his voice isn’t special, but when Fallon disagreed, he simply said, “It’s special to you. It ain’t special to me.”
However, a relentless Fallon highlighted, “But you know what I’m talking about. Everyone must say that to you. You were the voice of God in Bruce Almighty 1 and 2. And you’ve narrated Our Planet. You’re fantastic in that.” He further gushed about Freeman’s voice, saying everyone wants a voice like his – “calming, soothing, articulate, amazing, fantastic…”
Furthermore, when Jimmy Fallon asked the Invictus actor about vocal training, he shared that he briefly attended LACC (Los Angeles City College). There, a voice and diction instructor helped him realize he was speaking higher in his voice box than necessary.
